REDUCING FLANGE

What is a Reducing Flange?1. A reducing flange is a

special flange, used for fitting of pipes that vary in sizes.

2. Reducing flanges are usually provided with the following types of flanges: Welding neck, Slip-on and Threaded.

Uses of a Reducing Flange• A piping system consists of pipes, varied in sizes, joined together with flanges.

• Some piping networks are designed in a way that they require constant changes.

• As a result, a pipe’s diameter undergoes constant changes to adapt to the incoming stream of changes.

• In such fast-paced conditions, a reducing flange comes in handy as it can join pipes of varied sizes together with great ease.

Merits of a Reducing Flange• Reducing flanges are widely available in different types such as weld-neck, slip-on, threaded, etc.

• They are most beneficial in systems that require the joining of varied pipe sizes.

• They are economical and can be customized simply.

• Threaded reducing flanges require no welding and are well-suited for constantly changing pipe networks.

• Reducing flanges can endure extreme pressure and are suitable for high-pressure systems.
